Priestley W.M. Calculus: A Liberal Art
Springer, 1998. - 445 pages.

Presenting mathematics as forming a natural bridge between the humanities and the sciences, this book makes calculus accessible to those in the liberal arts. Much of the necessary geometry and algebra are exposed through historical development, and a section on the development of calculus offers insights into the place of mathematics in the history of thought.

  • добавлен 06 сентября 2011 г.
Springer, 1986. - 339 Pages. This book originated with a series of lectures on nineteenth-century analysis which I gave at the University of Calabria in 1977- 79. The study of nineteenth-century mathematics presents an extraordinarily rich and fertile field for historical research, particularly when we realize that the production of mathematics in the last century was greater than in all the preceding centuries put together, and that many contem...

Cambridge University Press, 2003. - 244 pages. Guicciardini presents a comprehensive survey of both the research and teaching of Newtonian calculus, the calculus of "fluxions", over the period between 1700 and 1810. Although Newton was one of the inventors of calculus, the developments in Britain remained separate from the rest of Europe for over a century. While it is usually maintained that after Newton there was a period of decline in British...

Springer, 2008. - 377 pages. This book presents first-year calculus roughly in the order in which it first was discovered. The first two chapters show how the ancient calculations of practical problems led to infinite series, differential and integral calculus and to differential equations. The establishment of mathematical rigour for these subjects in the 19th century for one and several variables is treated in chapters III and IV. The text is...

Princeton University Press, 1994. - 223 pages. The story of pi has been told many times, both in scholarly works and in popular books. But its close relative, the number e, has fared less well. Despite the central role it plays in mathematics, its history has never before been written for a general audience. The present work fills this gap. Geared to the reader with only a modest background in mathematics, the book describes the story of e from...

AMS, 2006. - 302 Pages. Euler is one of the greatest and most prolific mathematicians of all time. He wrote the first accessible books on calculus, created the theory of circular functions, and discovered new areas of research such as elliptic integrals, the calculus of variations, graph theory, divergent series, and so on. It took hundreds of years for his successors to develop in full the theories he began, and some of his themes are still at...
